[ANN][RIC] Riecoin: constellations POW *CPU* HARD FORK successful, world record

[jl777]

well i dont know muts about this all but you can see for your self in console
type :   gettxoutsetinfo   <enter>

results :

{
"height" : 2286,
"bestblock" : "bdecef8a7979e6f5dd9061ee58824830708744b57bb34ad6e5dae3ce030774dc",
"transactions" : 2123,

"bytes_serialized" : 148458,
"hash_serialized" : "e560084d0d4564daac0ef2e46540780d5a72e1692ebaf96b638ab897955ae482",
"total_amount" : 71124.99999744
}


so in my eyes strange right ? or do i miss something here?

The 71124 total_amount is the number of coins mined and it matches what we would expect at block 2286
The thing that confuses me is that we are generating blocks closer to one per minute than one per 2.5 minutes.
Maybe the OP is wrong about the time between blocks?

hi

everybody

although we are listed on a exchange platform, but it’s a new platform.

so do not sell all your coins, the platform do not have so many user to buy RIE！

such as mcxnow or bter or cryptsy.

You're mining solo but how is your wallet supposed to know about the other blocks on the network? Your log shows that your wallet added another block to your local database. Stop your wallet for a few hours and let it resync and see how many blocks it processes and commits to your database.

[billotronic]

no pools for this yet?

[Supercomputing]

So difficulty is currently at 774 bits or 234 decimal digits and I haven't found a block in over 24 hours. At this number size, expect about one (1) out of every 540 integers to be prime. Well, until we optimize the segmented sieve of Eratosthenes further for finding prime sextuplets, it is back to Primecoin mining for me. The miners released with this coin are a joke.

So many people have pointed out that unless you have massive amounts of processing power, this coin is not for you. It is a shame because a lot of people will be left out.

It is going to be interesting to see how a pool miner will be implemented - there are a lot of  2 - 4 chains, but very few 5 - 6 chains.

EECS in your .signature tag and not interested in doing the optimization? *grins*  If only the release happened during IAP.

The difficulty is high, but - solo mining is hard, period.  An optimized sieve won't change the difficulty of solo mining.

What the optimized sieve will do is level the playing field.  Right now there's a factor of 14x difference, at least, between the best private miners and the released one.  It's great fun for people who like to tweak the code, but probably not the best long-term thing for the coin.

I will have a few hours of down-time this weekend to optimize the sieve.

Also, I found a block after 26 hours from my last block on a 32-core (Intel) server:

Current n-1 improvement (already mentioned elsewhere):

Run rminerd with a larger sieve.  12% improvement in going from 1Mb (default) to 2Mb on xeon class machines (i.e with large caches).  For example

Code:

./rminerd -q -o http://10.10.10.10:28332 -O awallet:apassword -t 8 -i 2097152 

Regards,

bsunau7

Next n-1 improvement is a small one (1-2% depending on how sieve size used) and was found before I focused on the time critical code:

Replace all

Code:

  if( mpz_probab_prime_p ( bnTarget, MR_TESTS) )

With

Code:

  if( mpz_millerrabin ( bnTarget, MR_TESTS) )

mpz_probab_prime_p is a wrapper around mpz_millerrabin which includes tests for small primes.  The sieve which riecoin uses has already sieved the numbers so no need to double sieve.

I would expect this to make more than a few % points on small memory systems.

Hi All

Next n-1 optimization got me an 11% gain.  In scanriecoin.c's init funtion change memset and start looping @ 1 (note I've other optimizaitons which might have "confused" this code section so no complaints).

Code:

        // Just memset odd/even and be done
        memset( pSieve, 0xAA, opt_sieve_size/8 );

        // We set odd primes in the memset ;-) so start @ 2nd prime (3)
        for(unsigned int primeIndex = 1 ; primeIndex < primeTableSize; primeIndex++ ) {

We can do this as the base is always an even number so no point looping to bit set every second bit.  Also there is a slight variance as the original code never marked the 1st bit as composite (doesn'tmake much of a difference, but did cause me concern until I spent some quality time in gdb.

Off to work, enjoy.

For others:  Be very careful when doing this.  You need to take steps to *ensure* that the base is always even -- changes elsewhere in code can render this assumption false.  I ran into this the hard way.

The real risk here is that you *won't know that you screwed up* unless you've applied my length-reporting patch.  The kh/s numbers will go up if you apply this change wrong, and it will look great, but it will look good because it's reporting all sorts of crap that then get counted in kh/s but filtered out by the rabin-miller tests.

Ahem, giving away my secret sauce a bit, you can easily ensure that the base is something you want by unconditionally mpz_set'ting or clearing, as you need for your other tweaks, the last bit of 'b' before the call to init().

Apply the length outputting patch and then test bsunau7's suggestion.  It will make things faster if it works right.
